this is really not a great product. if you despreatly need to bring a car seat with you, i guess it's usable. but the seats don't cling tightly and overall it's a bulky, awkward item to be lugging around with you. it's cost-effective vs. buying a travel carseat with built in wheels, but i can't see myself ever using this again.

Ideally, a spare travel carseat should be lightweight (under 15 lbs), easy to install with the lap-only belt on an airplane seat and narrow enough to fit in a typical coach seat. With that criteria in mind, here are several options to consider.

Finally, and probably the most important. Different countries have different regulations for car seats, so your car seat may not meet local regulation. For example, an Australian car seat must be fitted with a top tether attached to an anchor point in the vehicle. The use of European car seats without the tether is, therefore, not regulation. A great resource I’ve found for finding the standards in other countries is

I wish I had seen this post a few months ago! Before our recent trip to Costa Rica, we spent forever trying to decide on the best travel carseat option. We knew we wanted to buy our own, as they practically cost us an arm and a leg last time we rented them along with our car rental. We ended up purchasing two Bubblebums, and they were fantastic – small, comfortable, and very portable.

If your child is at least 4 years old and 40 pounds, then you may want to consider buying a travel car booster seat.

Best "extra car seat" for travel, Grandma's car, or back up. With an entry price of around $50, a weight of only 10 lbs, an airplane-friendly seat width of 17.5", and extra features like a 2-position recline and removable cup holder, it's hard to go wrong traveling with a car seat like the Scenera. Not to mention, the 4 harness height slots and 3 buckle locations give a better fit for your growing child than most other convertible car seats that are rated up to 40 lbs. While some parents complain their children outgrow the strap settings for height long before reaching the 43" height max the manufacturer boasts, I've found that the shoulder strap settings go higher on the Scenera than they do on most other convertible car seats, aside from those by Britax. At least the price point of the Scenera makes it easier to swallow the transition to a larger car seat and/or booster when the time comes (or see below for heavier convertible seats for travel that will go up to 80 lbs). I also like that the Scenera has a rear-facing weight limit of 35 lbs--which comes in handy when you want to prevent your child from kicking the seat in front of him. I only wish they made a deluxe version with at least EPS foam and perhaps memory foam like the cushier models (if this interests you, see the Titan Elite below). Be aware that what you see is what you get--beneath the seat cover is nothing but hard plastic. Rear-facing from 5 to 35 lbs, forward-facing 22 to 40 lbs. 17.5" W without cup holder x 17"D x 26 1/2"H. 10 lbs.
